2008 Ram 1500 quad cab "sport" model package (VIN pops up as an SLT model) 4x4, 20" tires 5.7 V8 hemi MDS (runs on only 4 cyls to increase mpg when cruising under 55). No idea on the rear axle gear ratio, and its not listed on the drivers side door tag; but it does say the GVWR is 6700lbs

Thing is, when you go to the website http://www.dodge.com/towing/D/vehicle_to_weight.jsp and punch everything in (as best as I can figure how to do because I cant find a perfect match for all the figures) is says I can tow 5050LBS! Results-1 Which seems absurdly low. BUT if you punch in info on a SMALLER truck (dakota) with a SMALLER engine (4.7l V8) its says that smaller combo can do 6691lbs. Results-2
